Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $4.3M/yr
87.0% probability / year
Normal year with routine operations, no major incidents.
routine maintenance scheduled research cycles standard resupply
🚨 Minor Incident $4.5M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Minor containment or site incident requiring local repairs, limited medical response, and short-term overtime.
localized structural damage small-scale breach equipment failure
🚨 Major Breach $5.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$1.5M vs baseline
Major containment breach or anomalous escalation requiring emergency salvage, extensive repairs, external contractors and legal action.
containment breach significant artifact/humanoid relocation external emergency response
🚨 Relocation Operation Scenario $5.0M/yr
1.0% probability / year +$700K vs baseline
Planned or emergency relocation of SCP-8811-A/B or large artifacts off-island to a secure Foundation facility.

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are order-of-magnitude with many wide ranges in the analyst notes; the object's anomalous properties and unknown containment complexity increase uncertainty.
